Rich and creamy, this chicken pot pie soup has all of the flavors of a fresh baked pot pie. Best of all it is low carb and gluten free.
Ingredients
- olive oil
- celery
- carrots
- chicken
- garlic
- sea salt
- thyme
- onion powder
- black pepper
- chicken stock
- heavy cream
- sharp cheddar cheese
- frozen peas
Serving suggestions
For more of a true chicken pot pie feel, I like to serve this with a batch of keto biscuits or crackers. Here are some of my favorite recipes - Keto Cheddar Dill Biscuits, Cheddar Jalapeno Bacon Biscuits, White Cheddar Sausage Biscuits, Parmesan Chive, and Garlic Crackers, Rosemary and Thyme Crackers
Of course, if you wanted to go a more traditional route, while still keeping things low carb, I have a recipe for that too - Keto Chicken Pot Pie
How to convert for slow cooker
Converting this Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe to slow cooker couldn't be any easier. Simply add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8 hours. If you are home and have the time, I recommend waiting to add the cheese and heavy cream until the final hour.
Substitutions and Swaps
- Want to lower the carbs even further? Substitute the carrots and peas with lower carb vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, cabbage, bell peppers, or onions.
- Need to make this dairy free? Omit the cheese and substitute the heavy cream with full fat coconut milk.
- Use turkey in place of chicken. You can also use ground chicken, ground turkey, or even ground beef. I get all of my grass-fed, grass finished beef, heritage pork, organic chicken and sustainable seafood here

Description
Warm and comforting, this Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie Soup has all the delicious flavors of a freshly baked pot pit, but is soup form and without all the extra carbs.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 ½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces (I get all of my chicken here)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt

- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven or stock pot, over medium heat. Add the celery and carrots and sauté until they are crisp-tender.
- Add the chicken, garlic, salt, thyme, onion powder and black pepper. Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through.
- Pour a little bit of the chicken stock into the pot to deglaze. Scrape up and mix in any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining chicken stock, bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese and peas, simmer for an addition 30 to 40 minutes, stirring frequently.
Notes
For a thicker, creamier soup, add more heavy cream and cheese.

Wow! So good. We had both leftover rotisserie chicken and homemade chicken tenders, so we needed a recipe to use this chicken up. My sister was so excited about the prospect of me making this recipe that she rushed to the store to buy celery. Her efforts were rewarded. This soup is YUMMY! I used Poultry Seasoning in place of the Thyme, but made no other revisions. This soup is even better the next day!

My husband has developed allergies to just about everything tasty and one of his favourite meals was chicken pot pie. I made this last night and now he wants this every week. It tasted so much like the real deal and there wasn't any sneezing or coughing afterwards. Bonus!

Excellent soup however I wish the recipe indicated the amount of carrots in either a measuring cup measurement or by weight. "Large" carrots can vary in size.

You will be so surprised how much this actually tastes like chicken pot pie that you will never miss the crust! For personal preference we always add a bit more chicken. This is creamy, comforting and delicious. We got 2 big bowls for supper and have enough left over for lunch for both of us.
